SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

This Skill lets you create, search, edit, move, delete, and export Apple Notes directly from the command line, with iCloud sync across all Apple devices. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Note Management: Create, view, search (fuzzy), edit, delete, and move notes between folders using the memo CLI. - Export: Export notes to HTML or Markdown for backup or migration. - Use Case: You capture a meeting summary in the terminal and want it on your iPhone. Run memo to create the note in a specific folder, and it syncs to all your Apple devices via iCloud. ## Quick Start Use the apple-notes skill to create a new note in my Work folder with the meeting summary we just discussed.
